Hellos, Everybunny!
"Don't give up just yet. Try to stay positive. We have questions that need answers. Once we have those answers, we can decide on next steps," wrote Dr. Zellner.
Last week had been a rough year. Charlie's appointment took place on Tuesday. Call it the "fog of miscommunication." We went to the V. E. T. on M*nd*y, but for some reason, the visit was marked as a "tech-doctor" appointment. The best we could do was come back the next day. We scurried back home. Charlie sure did not appreciate it.
On Tuesday, my hoomin's worst fears were confirmed.
"Today we determined that Charlie is forming tones in her urinary bladder and her renal pelvis is becoming calcified."
The X-ray was not a glitch. Now, we are doing 50 ml of sub-q fluids daily. We have another appointment set for Tuesday. We will do a follow-up X-ray and blood work.
"If the kidney is shutting down, we need to discuss quality of life."
Charlie is a great trooper. We still enjoy snacks and head rubs. And have our art nights even when not much art is happening. If you didn't know about the calcification, you wouldn't know that something was off.
We'll keep you posted.
